Organizing a successful corporate outing that appeals to everyone can be quite a challenge. Ideally, you want an event that leaves a lasting impression and sparks conversation for months to come. A sporty corporate outing can achieve this result, but it must meet certain criteria. In this blog, we provide you with a few tips for organizing an amazing corporate event and demonstrate why padel is the perfect choice.
Padel: Competitive yet Accessible
A significant reason why sporty corporate outings are often so successful is that they trigger the release of various hormones, including the "happiness hormones" endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine. Starting your corporate outing with a sporty activity immediately puts everyone in the right mood.
However, it's essential to consider that not everyone is equally sporty. Many sports can be challenging, and if half of the group lacks talent for the chosen sport, they may lose interest. It needs to be enjoyable for everyone, which is why padel is the perfect solution! Padel is known for its accessibility. Virtually anyone who picks up a padel racket for the first time can immediately engage in a fun rally. You don't need to be a top athlete to play the game; the small size of the court and the glass walls surrounding it make it easier. As a result, even the least fit individuals can enjoy this sport, ensuring that nobody feels excluded during the corporate outing.
Padel Tournament: Recreation and Performance Pools
During your corporate outing, you can opt for a padel clinic led by one of our professional trainers or an internal padel tournament. Of course, you can also choose to first attend a clinic and then participate in a tournament.
For the padel tournament, we recommend creating two different pools: a recreational pool and a competitive pool. The fact that the sport is accessible to everyone does not mean that there won't be differences in skill level. Some individuals simply have more aptitude for racket sports than others. By having two different pools, you can divide the group into absolute beginners and those with experience in racket sports. Padel is most enjoyable when you play with and against players of your own skill level. Naturally, at The Padellers, we are happy to assist with organizing the tournament and creating the pools.
Food and drinks afterwards
A sporting outing is fun, but a corporate event wouldn't be complete without some socializing! Of course, this is all part of the experience at The Padellers. Simply let us know your catering preferences, and we'll make sure the drinks are chilled for you after the event. In our catering facility, you can enjoy drinks and snacks while chatting about the tournament and kick off the rest of the evening in a relaxed atmosphere.
